Overview

About 20 St Philips Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

20 St Philips Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 3AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 sits 103.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000.
